Özet:

The XIX. At the very beginning of the century, the rebellion movements initiated by Christian elements in the Balkans and supported by the Western powers, in the subsequent process also occurred in Anatolia, and with the first World War's explosion, it created the danger of the emergence of new political structures as in the Balkans. With the Pontus thought created by Greece, the Fener-Rum Patriarchate, the metropolitans and the Rom schools, the Romans, who had the dream of establishing a Pontus Rom State in the Eastern Black Sea Region, with the support of the Opposition States, rebelled against the Ottoman State and established armed groups and began attacks against the Turkish people. The Pontuscu Romans, who began political activities along with the Mondros Conflict, and the Paris Peace Conference, have also transmitted their claims towards the eastern Black Sea coast on an international platform. The Romans who engaged in intense propaganda activity in the name of creating a legitimate ground for their claims have also found a broad response in the American press. So that the statements of American missionaries, Rom religious men and other persons or groups of Roms who operate in the region were published in American newspapers, accompanied by striking titles, and were trying to influence the public. The news claims that the Romans were killed by the Turks and that the Christian existence in the region is in danger. In this study that we have received, we briefly summarize the developments we summarize above in the U.S. press with news and comments, focusing on the objective of the Rum/Greek claims revealed.
